⭐ ULTIMATE SCREENSHOT CREATOR ⭐ - perfect for marketing and ingame screenshots

Hello,

There is currently no such feature in the asset.

However, this could be made that way with a simple script:
Create a script that reference a ScreenshotManager and your scroll rect, by creating a coroutine that will capture a screenshot, move the scrollrect, etc, until you reach the maximum scroll value.

 

Hello, I have Crash in Google play looks like it's related to Screenshot plugin, because NativeShare is a part of it.
How to fix it?

Hello
I'm sorry you are having an issue with the asset.
What is the phone and OS version you are having this crash ?
Can you tell me more about that crash, when does it happen?

 

I don't know when it's happen, in my device it works perfectly, but in Google Play report I see a lot of crashes.
Here the list of devices:
realme 8 Android 12 (SDK 31)
Samsung Galaxy A52 Android 12 (SDK 31)
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G Android 12 (SDK 31)
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Android 12 (SDK 31)
Samsung Galaxy S22 Android 12 (SDK 31)
Redmi Note 10 Android 12 (SDK 31)
Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G Android 12 (SDK 31)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Android 12 (SDK 31)
Motorola moto g(30) Android 12 (SDK 31)
realme C25 Android 12 (SDK 31)

All of them happens at Android 12 (SDK 31)

 

Thanks for the details.
This seams to be indeed a bug related to Android 12 coming from Native Share, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

I will look at it and keep you updated.

Meanwhile, I would recommend disabling the sharing feature for Android 12 to prevent such issue until the issue is solved, for instance by disabling the share button:

Code (CSharp):

1. if ( AndroidUtils.GetAndroidSDKVersion()  >= 31) {
2. sharebutton.SetActive(false);
3. }

 

Thanks!

 

G'day!
I'm using this simple code to allow the user to capture a shot of their character in the game -

Code (CSharp):

1. snapshotPath = Application.persistentDataPath + "/Snap.png";
2. SimpleScreenshotCapture.InitScreenshotTaker();
3. yield return StartCoroutine(SimpleScreenshotCapture.CaptureCoroutine
4. (snapshotPath, 1024, 1024, TextureExporter.ImageFileFormat.PNG, 100, new List<Camera> { snapshot.camera }, null, ScreenshotTaker.CaptureMode.RENDER_TO_TEXTURE, 8));

This works but it is there a way to stop it from automatically saving to the users PhotoGallery?
I still want to save to the ApplicationData path, is that possible?

Thanks,
Pete

Great Asset by the way

 

Hello

Yes, in the SimpleScreenshotCapture.CaptureCoroutine method call just set the exportToGallery parameter to false:

Code (CSharp):

1. SimpleScreenshotCapture.CaptureCoroutine(snapshotPath, 1024, 1024, TextureExporter.ImageFileFormat.PNG, 100, new List<Camera> { snapshot.camera }, null, ScreenshotTaker.CaptureMode.RENDER_TO_TEXTURE, 8, true, ScreenshotTaker.ColorFormat.RGB, false, false));

 

Yeay! Thanks @WildMageGames, that's great.

 

Great time saver!

just would be nice to have that "your game logo"-disabled by default,
now need to go search documentation on how to disable it..

some issues:
screenshot filename is "2688x1242-screenshot-iPhone 6.5 inch - 11 Pro Max, 11, XS Max, XR.png"
but the actual resolution is 1242x2688 ? (flipped height and width..) *ok clicked switch default templates all to landscape seems to fix that

one resolution seems to fail on capture?
[d3d11] attempting to ReadPixels outside of RenderTexture bounds! Reading (0, 0, 2048, 2732) from (1920, 1080)

 

Hello,

sorry about "game logo", I thought it was already disable by default, I will check the example scenes.

"2688x1242" the symbols refers to the device resolutions, this is why when you flip the display portrait/landscape it doesn't not invert their values.

Can you tell me more about your capture issue and when it happens ? Do you have some steps to reproduce it ? What graphics card do you have ?

 

I get the same issue, have a bunch of resolutions setup and three of them fail with the same [d3d11] attempting to ReadPixels outside of RenderTexture bounds! Reading (0, 0, 2048, 2732) from (1920, 1080) error. But with the wanted resolution of course. Using Unity 2020.3.33f1 and URP.

 

Hello
After some testing it appears that this error may happens in some cases with URP with 2020.3. From my tests, the issue will happens only when you try to capture consecutively two same resolutions:

temporary workaround -> please reorder all the resolutions you want to capture so that two consecutive captures do not have the same dimensions.

In last version I optimized the capture process, to gain a few time, I will check with this case fails and publish an update ass soon as possible. If you notice this error in other situations please let me know.

 

Updating Native Share to latest version fix the problem. Fixed in Native Share 1.4.6

 

Hi, this asset is excellent and has given me the functionality I was looking for and much more, so thank you for making this.

I do have a question though. I am creating a first-person DIY simulation type game and using this asset for the player to take a photo of the completed jobs (image 1), view them in the gallery and share them with an NPC girlfriend (image 2) who responds depending on various conditions (image 3).

Within the messages I would like a thumbnail of the photo to show, so not only would I need one for the Gallery Greybox, but for this aswell and generate it within a prefab. How could this be done?

Also, I notice that the images are stored in a folder on the PC, but if the player deletes the image they have shared, I would not want the image within the messages to disappear.

I hope this makes sense!!!

PS: I am using a visual scripting asset called Game Creator (2)

Kind regards

 

Hello,

When you create screenshots, you can chose to save them to the DATA_PATH. That's the folder where your game content is stored, so the user is less likely to remove them.
When you capture the screenshot, you should store the screenshot path as a reference for later uses.
When you share your picture via message UI, try creating a RawImage UI object within the message system to display a texture. You can load the texture using the asset utility method TextureExporter.LoadFromFile() and the path you stored previously, and associate it to the RawImage UI texture object.

 

Hi,

Thank you for your speedy response.

The DATA_PATH is a good shout, I will certainly need that when I build the game.

I have created the RawImage object, but I am not a coder and with Game Creator I can only Invoke a Method. I cannot access the TextureExporter script because it does not derive from Monobehavior. Would I need to create another Greybox Canvas for the message UI?

Many thanks

 

Hello,
It's hard to answer to your question, it's very dependent on how your messaging system works, how the rawimage within are referenced, and on how you capture and store the screenshots.

I made a custom script for you:
attach it to your rawimage game object
when you want to display the texture, use the SetFileName(...) to set the screenshot filename that you stored,
and then Load() to load the texture. I added ratio scaling settings too.

 

Hi

Thank you so much, this is very kind of you to write a custom script.

It is working almost perfectly and I realise I have a very specific use case for this.

As far as I can see the SetFileName(...) is a string which I have to manually type in, I use this example (Assets\Screenshots\screenshot.png) which pulls that image from the folder.

Although, I would need the image which is currently open in the greybox to fill that SetFileName field, dependent on which one was chosen from the gallery. I feel that I am so close to having this cracked. Would it have something to do with the CurrentImageId?

Many thanks

 

Yes, you can use m_Gallery.m_ImageFiles[m_CurrentImageId].m_FullName to get the full name of the current image in the greybox to be used with SetFileName(...)

 

Sorry to be a pain, but would I need to add this to the script?

 

I do not know how you use the gallery, greybox and the script I sent you, so it's very hard to tell you what to do. If you detail more what your objects are, and how you use them, maybe I will understand and be able to provide more help.

 

I will email you, I wouldn't want to clog up this thread

 

Hi

Did you receive the email that I sent you?

I forgot to mention that the Invoke Method that I use to access the RawImageDisplayer script looks like the image I have attached.

Thanks

 

Hello
I just answered to you by email

 

Hello I have a little issue.
I want to capture with a hotkey.
But currently I'm using the Input System and disable the Input Manager (old).
I cannot take any screenshot using the Hotkeys.
I already enable "New Input System Support"
this just add the preprocessor "USC_INPUT_SYSTEM"

 

Hello
Enabling InputSystem support on the asset settings should unlock a new hotkeys menu. Did you set the new input hotkeys ? If so, are they not working in edit mode, in play mode, or in both ? Can you tell me what is your Unity version ?

 

Yes I enable them. For example I try with the combination "Shift Key + X Key" In the "New Input System hotkeys"

I'm trying to capture in the play mode. Never test the Edit Mode (Need to take screen shoots for store page).
I'm using the Unity Version 2021.3.16.
For the Input System package I have the version 1.4.4.
Ultimate screenshot creator is the version 1.11.0

I think there's something wrong in the HotKey file after enable the support for the Input System.
I enable support for Both Input System And Input Manager. I guess this could be a quick solution.
My game doesn't use Input Manager not sure if I have to disable Input Manager in the release build to avoid include the Input Manager.

 

Thanks a lot for the details, I will look at this and see what could go wrong.

 

Hello,
there was indeed an issue with the new input system support. I fixed the issue and pushed the update 1.11.1 to the asset store, it should be available in a few hours/days depending on the asset store validation queue.

 

Hi!
I just updated to Ultimate Screenshot Creator (1.11.4), and I'm noticing a big shift in gamma on the screenshots I'm taking.
Here's my code for capturing. Is there anything that pops out there as wrong?

Code (CSharp):

1. yield return StartCoroutine(SimpleScreenshotCapture.CaptureToFileCoroutine(targetPath, 1024, 1024, TextureExporter.ImageFileFormat.PNG, 100, new List<Camera> { tempCamera }, null, ScreenshotTaker.CaptureMode.RENDER_TO_TEXTURE, 8, true, ScreenshotTaker.ColorFormat.RGB, false, false));
2.  

Just wondering what might have changed to cause that? If I revert back to v1.10.1 it looks fine.

Thanks P.

 

Hi!
I just bought USC 1.11.4 exclusively because of the multi display support plus its capacity to capture overlay canvases.
But in a real 2-diplay build scenario it just won't work. I can't capture the main display.
The MultiDisplayCameraCapture component briefly mentioned in the documentation won't help either.
I'm using Unity 2021.3.21f1.
Could you please provide some directions or a functional example on how to capture (including overlay) from multiple displays?

 

Hello,
To capture a specific screen in a multi display settings, place the MultiDisplayCameraCapture component on the camera game object you want to capture. If you simply want to capture the main display as it is, set the capture mode to FIXED_GAME_VIEW. There is nothing more to do and it should work out of the box. Do not hesitate if you still have any issue.

 

Hello,

I indeed recently changed the default capture format because it seemed to create issues on the last Unity version with HDRP.
What is your Unity version and render pipeline ?

Can you try editing the ScreenshotTaker.cs file, for the lines 1014 and 1023, replace ARGBHalf by ARGB32, and please tell me if the gamma is correct again.

 

Thanks for the prompt reply but it's just not working. Always get this d3d11 error no matter what. According to the values here, the plugin is trying to ReadPixels from a display using the other display's resolution.

Code (CSharp):

1. [d3d11] attempting to readpixels outside of rendertexture bounds! Reading (0, 0, 540, 960) from (1280, 800)

 

Sorry for the delay, that seems to have fixed it.
I'm on Universal RP 12.1.11 and Unity 2021.3.23f1

 

Hey I just ran into another strange issue. I'm trying to take a screenshot while in AR.
This is the code I'm using -

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. yield return StartCoroutine(SimpleScreenshotCapture.CaptureToFileCoroutine(photo.nameResult, 1024, 1024, TextureExporter.ImageFileFormat.PNG, 100, new List<Camera>{currentCamera}, null, ScreenshotTaker.CaptureMode.RENDER_TO_TEXTURE, 8, true, ScreenshotTaker.ColorFormat.RGB, false, false));

If the camera has this component attached -
The image comes out as the whole screen squashed into a 1024 x 1024 square, but if I remove that component, the result is cropped.

I'd like to get a cropped screenshot with that AR background, is that possible?

Thanks!
Pete

Unity - 2021.3.23f1
ARFoundation - Version 4.2.7 - November 07, 2022

 

Hmmm, it seems to be related to this -

But I need that to get the background to be in the screenshot.
Any idea's on getting this one to work?

 

Hello. Great Plugin, but it is not working in Unity 2022.3 sadly. I created a new HDRP project and import the package. When I built the application for Windows, there is an error in den Built window. Something like. Creating the player not possible while scripts are loading. But without the Ultimate Screenshot package, the built process works fine. It is an empty Unity project, that means no other packages influence the built process. There must be a problem with the package. Is this already on the list or is it a custom problem?

 

Hi, here's an example of the problem I'm running into.

This is what I'm seeing in app -



And this is how the capture appears.


Normally the capture would just crop but for some reason in AR it rescales. Any chance you could take a look at this?

Thanks,
Pete
